Mr. Moth

in #photofeed6 years ago

I came across this moth at the cabin that I was at this past weekend with my family. This thing literally sat in this exact position for an entire day, then the next morning it was gone. Are any of you moth experts? Any idea if that's normal moth behavior? And while you're at it, what kind of moth is this? Thanks in advance for your expertise.

Also, I just realized that apparently over 1000 of you crazy people follow me now. I realized that probably half of you are bots and another quarter don't ever look at my posts, but oh well! To those of you that look at my pictures and comment every now and then, thanks so much! :)

It is a Luna Moth Actias Luna so ethereal and beautiful.

Here is Spain we have a very rare bit different species called "Spanish Luna" Graellsia isabelae which is similar but with brown veins on the wings.

And congrats on the followers milestone.

Nice! Thanks for the info, so interesting! Any idea what makes the veins different colors?

Haha thanks, much appreciated :)
